From JRI-Poland.

I think Akta 27 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s first-cousin’s 1839 death record from Andrzejewo or Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the deceased’s name: Szmul Motel WAINTROB/WANTROB;
- his father: Matys WANTROB, son of Herszko;
- his mother: Ruchla, daughter of Icko.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.
